"You think I can't decipher the internal structure and secrets of this cylindrical crystal, so you want the lion to open its mouth?" The woman raised her head and asked in a slightly provocative tone.
Zuo Si smiled slightly and nodded without hesitation: "That's right! If you feel confident, then please make an offer. Anyway, after buying it, whether you smash it open or use various magic to detect it,
It’s your personal freedom.”
Obviously, the reason why he is so confident lies in the several special abilities given by the creator profession.
Without [Refining] and [Shaping], even if outsiders understand the materials and the magic used in manufacturing, they will not be able to copy a real energy storage device.
What's more, this thing also uses some technical design concepts similar to modern batteries, and it was finally successfully manufactured after more than 300 failed experiments.
Want to crack?
Let’s first understand the dozens of composite materials and compounds that can only be produced by modern industry, as well as the original order of runes!
You must know that even the Archmage of the Necromancer Asta took it away and studied it for more than a week, but in the end he was unable to crack the mystery.
Of course, there are also reasons why he is not particularly interested in it.
After all, for a powerful spellcaster obsessed with necromancy and the pursuit of immortality, a mere enhanced version of the [Lightning Wand] is not worth wasting too much time and energy.
If you have that kind of time, you might as well create a few more physical demons, or other high-level undead creatures.
"Very good! Since you are so confident, I still want to try.
The price of general spell-storing magic items is usually calculated based on the base price multiplied by the spell level, and then multiplied by the manufacturer's spellcasting level.
Since you have a unique skill, I will give you an additional 5,000 gold coins in the added value of knowledge.
Now please tell me your spellcasting level."
The woman is obviously full of confidence in her knowledge base in the field of magic item manufacturing, and does not think that this interesting gadget can stump her at all.
That kind of pride and strong self-confidence that is coming out also proves from a certain aspect that her character is definitely affected by the other half of non-human blood.
"My spellcasting level is level five."
Zuo Si had no intention of wasting time with his words and straightforwardly reported the rank of his creator.
The woman lowered her head to look at the gem in her hand, and then asked: "Are you a mage?"
She didn't show any surprise or surprise that the boy in front of her who looked less than ten years old had five spellcasting levels.
Because in the circle of spellcasters, appearance cannot be used as a basis for judging true age.
Not to mention making yourself younger, you can also change your gender or even your race.
When some stupid apprentices study transformation magic, they may even turn themselves into small animals such as chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs because they are not careful enough.
"Sorry, this is a secret. I can only tell you that I am an arcane spellcaster."
Zuo Si gave a vague answer very carefully.
He is not a fool. He can tell that the gem in the other person's hand is probably a magic item that can tell whether others are lying.
If you answer too directly, others will be able to infer a lot of useful information.
Seeing that Zuo Si began to become wary, the woman did not continue to inquire further. Instead, she put away the gem and said bluntly: "The basic price of a magic storage wand is 750 gold coins.
This interesting device of yours can absorb and store three rings of [Lightning Magic], and it is calculated according to the three rings of magic.
Finally multiplied by the casting level.
A total of..."
"Wait!"
Before the other party could complete the calculation, Zuo Si immediately interrupted.
"My energy storage device is not a magic wand.
Not only can it absorb the third-level [Lightning Technique], but it can also absorb the sixth-level [Serial Lightning], and even the blue dragon's lightning breath.
And it won’t be damaged after the last shot is used up like a wand.
It is a magic storage device that can be recycled repeatedly, and can also be used to defend against lightning-type magic attacks.
So there’s something wrong with the basic price you gave.”
"How much do you think it should be?" the woman asked expressionlessly.
Obviously, she also understood that she was deliberately lowering the price by treating the energy storage device as a magic wand.
Now that it has been exposed, it can only be forced to enter the bargaining stage.
"I think it is reasonable to increase the base price to at least 1,500 gold coins."
After a little thought, Zuo Si doubled the original basic price.
But this behavior of asking for a high price immediately attracted the woman's ridicule: "1500 gold coins?
Do you have any misunderstandings about the pricing of magic items?
Or are you just a novice who doesn’t know the ropes?
You can buy a 50-shot three-ring magic wand at this price.
And your device is completely empty now.
The most I can offer is 1,200."
"1200?"
Zuo Si quickly calculated in his mind the money he would eventually get in his hand, and immediately nodded.
"Deal!"
"1200 multiplied by 5 and then multiplied by 3, and finally add 5000, the total is gold coins. After deducting the 1647 you owed me before, I should pay you gold coins."
The woman obviously has very good mental arithmetic skills and can calculate the accounts between two people clearly in the blink of an eye.
Just when she was about to open the cloth bag that looked like a [dimensional bag] to take out the money, Zuo Si suddenly pointed at the blind box of the spell book and said, "I want to try my luck."
"Oh? Do you also want to feel the impermanence of fate?
No problem! Please take your pick.
Remember, it cannot be opened or any spells can be released for identification.
Its value can only be judged by its appearance."
After saying that, the woman's eyes flashed with amusement, and then she made a gesture of invitation, as if she was expecting to see some interesting scenes.
Zuo Si noticed the evil look in the shopkeeper's eyes and immediately realized that most of the magic recorded in these spell books were not worth 5,000 gold coins.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But he did not show any nervousness. He calmly picked up the spell books one after another of different materials, colors and decoration styles, looked at them carefully, and then put them back one by one. p>
The selection process lasted a full twenty minutes.
Finally, he selected two from dozens of spell books.
One of them looks very plain. Except for the light yellow cover, which is still intact, the rest of the book is in tatters.
The edges of some pages even appear uneven and jagged.
As for the other book, it is completely the opposite. The cover is densely inlaid with gems, and the edges of the cover are even inlaid with gold and silver edges.
"Are you sure these are the two books? You must know that once you choose, no matter how many spells are recorded in it after you open it, you can never go back on it." The woman reminded her meaningfully.
Through this kind-hearted reminder, she can release an invisible pressure on the person who chooses the spell book, thereby affecting his or her initial judgment.
But Zuo Si was not affected at all and responded neatly: "I know. Can I open them now?"
"Of course! This is your freedom. In addition, I will deduct gold coins from the payment."
Seeing that the "little guy" in front of her was not affected by her, the woman was obviously a little disappointed.
But soon, this disappointment turned into shock and disbelief.
After opening the two spell books chosen by Zuo Si, after a simple spell identification by the female shopkeeper, the tattered one among them clearly recorded more than forty spells.
Although most of them are low-level magic of the first and second levels.
But there are also five third-level spells and two fourth-level spells.
There is no doubt that the value of this spell book exceeds 5,000 gold coins.
Although the number of spells recorded in the other book is slightly less, it does have a five-ring [teleportation spell].
As a shrewd businessman, the woman knows very well how difficult it is to pick out a spell book worth more than 5,000 gold coins from these "tatters".
Moreover, certain spell books have been placed here for many years, and even she herself doesn't quite remember what kind of spells are recorded in them.
But today, someone actually picked out two books at once.
It almost made her wonder if the other person had been kissed and blessed by Tymora, the goddess of luck.
